As the festive season approaches it’s time to add a touch of sparkle and glam to your usual make-up routine - there’s no better time to try something bold, to dazzle and shine for those festive events and parties. Here are a few ideas with some tips and tricks on how to add a Christmas vibe (without tinsel) to your make-up with some of the hottest new products.

The last year has been all about women and their underlying strength, which was reflected in the clothes, hair and make-up looks seen on the runways in Paris, London, Milan and New York. With animal prints, leather and cowboy fringes dominating the runways, the power woman is back this autumn - seen most evidently in the '80s silhouettes which had something of a revival (think bold shoulder lines and nipped in waists).

I think my skin is still glowing from my Signature K facial at the Karidis Clinic, despite it being a couple of weeks ago.

I work hard to take care of my skin, adapting my regime to the seasons and investing in hard-working formulas that really make a difference. As a result, I’m pretty happy with it, but there are certain times of the year, particularly when the seasons change, that I could definitely do with some extra help.

If you are affected by the bizarre extremes of weather at the moment, then spare a thought for your skin. Extreme temperature changes (hello snow), air conditioning, central heating and pollution all take their toll, so it’s particularly important at these times to make sure you have a solid care routine. Below are a few of my favourite products and how I use them.

Gentlemen! Do you have your grooming routine nailed?! With Spring getting ever closer, and Valentine’s Day around the corner, why not consolidate your skincare and maximise your chances of romance in the months to come?

In the words of Tom Ford: ”Fine grooming is the mark of a modern gentleman. It is the way a man presents the best version of himself to the world.” I couldn't agree more.

Spring is right around the corner and it’s the perfect time to clear out, organise and re-stock your skincare with some hard working skincare. Forget the house spring clean; Levanah Reyes-Wainwright dishes out the skin clean.
